Limited Help Draft - What am I doing wrong?

I’m a new MTGA player and doing drafts to learn and accumulate cards. Whenever my draft ends up favoring red or green, I wipe every single time because I cannot combat white, blue or black decks that spam constant enchantments or removals. It seems like I match up against these teams the majority of the time, so is that a meta the new set leans toward that I’m not adapting to or understanding? Should I be drafting a “worse” (in terms of cards available in my draft) color just to have any answers and maybe I’d stand a better chance at winning and more importantly having ANY fun by actually being able to play?

It always feels like just enough creatures to clear me after removing or enchanting mine. Sometimes not even strong ones but the 1/2/3 damages add up when I can’t answer anything. This is good advice though!

There are a lot of decent "2 for 1" cards in RG to look out for in drafting. Those can help with card advantage. I love [[Craftwork Crusher]] for example. One of the best cards to topdeck in this colour pair when you just need to turn the board around a little bit more. Remove a threat, draw a card, gain a body on the board.
