Draw sword: replace another way (5-7)

I believe the answer is:

crowd-pleaser

'draw' is the definition.
(draw can mean something which draws crowds)

'sword replace another way' is the wordplay.
'another way' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sword'+'replace'='swordreplace'
'swordreplace' with letters rearranged gives 'CROWD-PLEASER'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
