Gold is only good as far as it turns into items. Items are only good as they grant stats. Draven almost exclusively turns his gold into damage.

His new passive:

Farm passive --> Get kill --> Gold --> damage --> kills

His old passive:

Crit or spinning Axe --> Damage --> Kills --> gold --> Attack Speed/Crit chance --> More Crits/spinning axes --> etc

Notice how, on his old passive, damage is at the second step instead of the fourth. The point of gold (on most marksmen) is damage, and the old passive gave that in spades.
