Who Wins

Pre-6, Draven wins the 2v2 almost unconditionally — his level 1 auto-attack damage with spinning axes far exceeds your Q poke, and Blitzcrank's Q threat forces you to play so far back that you cannot trade effectively.
Post-6, you gain R for wave-clearing and skirmish pressure, but Draven + Blitzcrank still win a committed 2v2 unless Blitzcrank has already burned his Q.

Your best pattern is to Q poke from max range when Blitzcrank's Q is on cooldown, then immediately E away to reset positioning — never commit to an extended trade because Draven's sustained DPS and Blitzcrank's W speed make you lose any prolonged fight.
Use Blitzcrank's hook cooldown windows as your only real opportunity to step up.

Push the wave fast when Blitzcrank is out of position to deny him hook angles, then freeze near your tower once the wave is even — this forces Draven to overextend to farm, making him vulnerable to Naafiri's engage while keeping you safe from hooks.
Avoid slow-pushing into a large wave that gives Blitzcrank a static target to hook.

Do not E aggressively toward the enemy to trade — your E is your only escape from a Blitzcrank hook, and burning it offensively means you die to the follow-up.
Respecting that one ability is the single most important mechanical discipline in this lane.
