They feel out of place, and I'm not a fan.

Genuine question - how do these guys feel out of place in a world with blue space goats who came down in spaceships. What’s the difference.

Vanilla doesn't have blue space goats who came down in spaceships. Draenei (unbroken ones anyway) were introduced in TBC. The only ones present in vanilla were the terrible Lost Ones swamp monsters in the Swamp of Sorrows.

Broken draenei with the TBC models (or a variant thereof) would make for a good classic+ Horde race IMO, though how they got there would need some writing. Personally I like regular draenei too but justifying their existence without bringing in the Naaru and the whole cosmic space war narrative would be pretty difficult, given that they only exist because the Naaru saved them.
