I am relatively new to MTGO, but I have been drafting IRL since Kamigawa. I am trying to figure out how to record or watch replays of drafts I do Online. Is there something built in to MTGO that allows this or do I need to download another program?

Are you looking for replays of the games or the actual drafting process? I know they have a way to replay your games but I dont know about the actual drafting stage.
MTGO has a Draft Recorder built in that will give you a text file of your draft. Using this feature is an Auto use, meaning every draft you do, will get recorded and transferred to a text file with dates for each draft.
To get the Draft Recorder to work, you have to enable this in your "Settings" area within your account. (Menu--Settings--Gameplay) This checkbox is on the left side of the screen, 2nd table down. Put an "X" on the "Draft Recorder" option. Then Save.
To locate the drafts that get recorded, go to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Games\Magic The Gathering Online\Drafts
Here's a sample of what it will look like for you:

Never used it myself so I don't know anything about how to use it. Here's an example of someone using it in an article:
