No, not really. Near the end of Lent, (the last two weeks) it is customary in the Catholic Church to VEIL all the crucifix's completely. "Draped" Cross, where a piece of cloth is flung over the arms of the cross is a protestant invention, which, unfortunately, has been adopted in some Catholic Churches.

Should the drape on the cross be displayed year round?

To the best of my knowledge there is no Church document that ever authorized a Crucifix or Cross to be "draped" other than a complete veil which is called for on Passion Sunday and Holy Week. This sounds like the idea of a liturgist and should be treated as such, in other words, a cross should NEVER be "draped" much less year round.
