"a draft in progress" is a grammatically correct and commonly used phrase in written English.
It typically means that a written document or piece of writing is still being worked on and is not yet in its final form. Example: "I'm still working on my essay, it's just a draft in progress at the moment." In this example, the speaker is letting the listener know that the essay they are referring to is not yet a final version, but is still in the process of being written and edited. They may still make changes or additions to the essay before it is considered complete.
