Is this ok, or should be taking them out of the bags and drying them off before re-vacuuming them before cooking? 

I cook mine as is, in fact, I don't even thaw them before sous vide.  I just toss them in the water and add a bit of time to the anticipated cook.   Also, I use the juices for a sauce or dipping jus; or even collect them for a future gravy.  Those bag juices are fantastic.   I don't have any belief drying the meat of all juices before sous vide-ing has any effect to the texture/flavor of the meat.   Are you planning to sear after debagging?  That is when I have seen people dry the meat.   But again, don't fear the bag juices!
