No

draw offers can be made before you make a move.

offering a draw during the opponent move is not sportivic behaviour.
If you offer a move before you play the opponent can ask you to play a move
first and decide based on the move if to accpet the draw.

The right way to offer a draw in human tournaments is to play a move on the
board say that you offer a draw and after saying it to press the clock.
