 Draft post previews can only be viewed if logged in.

 So if Google does index a site, the draft post preview would return a 404
 error.

 Example

 http://local.wordpress.dev/?p=967&preview=true

 So if not logged in it will redirect to
 http://local.wordpress.dev/?p=967

 Which will return a 404 error on that post id.
