Additionally, if you want the time on a new line then you have to 
enclose the draftstring in a parbox or the minipage environment. For 
example, to approximate what you originally wanted, try this:

\usepackage[draft]{pdfdraftcopy}
\draftstring{%
\begin{minipage}{17cm}
\begin{center}
\  DRAFT \quad\today
\end{center}
\end{minipage}
}
