Words that rhyme with Draper
For lyric work, draper behaves as a plain-speech anchor. Sound-wise: two-syllable, vowel on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel, finally it ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. What the engine returns: the perfect-rhyme list is short, no family-rhyme matches turn up, and the vowel-match pool carries the volume. Lyric-wise, the word reads as a household-word. The interior life of any lyric on this word is going to be the assonance list.

Why draper rhymes the way it does
Draper sits on the /ษหr/ vowel, transcribed /ษหr/ in our engine, and flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 16 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 152, assonance 4,922, and consonance 341. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Draper is a word that benefits from the second pass.
