Some people pronounce the word 'drawer' as 'draw' or 'droor' due to a well-documented linguistic process called derhotacization, vowel merger, or r-dropping. In many regional dialects across North America and parts of the United Kingdom, the complex sequence of vowel sounds followed by an 'r' undergoes phonetic smoothing in fast speech. This natural linguistic habit causes speakers to drop the distinct second syllable or merge the vowel sounds together, turning a two-syllable word into a single syllable.
