Been awhile since I last heard the Ragefire draft discussion, but IIRC they locked it out to ensure that it didn't interfere with someone's Nagafen pick. Logistically it makes sense.
At any rate, that's one mob and it's one single week where it's locked out. The rest of the time Ragefire is fully open and hardly monopolized at all times.
All other mobs on the draft list require and organized raid to kill. Some of the simpler mobs packaged with a pick are done so for similar logistics to prevent issues with people trying to kill their draft pick and also serve the purpose of requiring a guild to give up a pick if they want to select the package, thus leaving open more content to be drafted.
It's a great system and every guild that is reliably capable of killing raid mobs gets its shot. There are zero non-raid guilds that could reliably kill 95% of the content included in the draft so there would be no guilds that benefit from an anti-draft week.

Oh, absolutely, the anti-draft week idea is stupid. But there's a kernel of truth inside, or at least a valid criticism of the draft. It shouldn't just be free pixels, it should be aimed at opening up the raid game, letting smaller guilds get their bearings and learn stuff at their own pace, etc.
In the UNs, people are unabashedly suggesting drafted Kozz, drafted Drusella, drafted scout, etc
