British number three Jacob Fearnley, 23, also went out after a crushing straight-set defeat by top seed Alexander Zverev.
The German, who also beat the Scot in straight sets at the Australian Open, needed just one hour, 14 minutes to wrap up a 6-2 6-4 victory.
Despite the defeat, Fearnley will climb above Cameron Norrie to become British number two – behind Draper – when the ATP rankings are updated after Miami.
