Anyway of those seven designs they chose 1 and 2 to build prototypes,
which would become the YF-22 and YF-23. The design *as presented* by
Lockheed at that time was the one that couldn't fly. After they
teamed with General Dynamics GD told them essentially "look, your
design won't even be able to fly". Needless to say THAT went over
real well with Lockheed but GD was right. If you look and the
original LM & GD designs and compare them with the YF-22, the YF-22
resembles the GD proposal almost as much as it does LM's. The
production F-22 is even more so.

Can you point me to sketches of the Lockheed proposal?
And what was General Dynamic's objection to its air-
worthiness?
