Dragons are not winged balrogs. They are creations of Morgoth, balrogs are Maiar that were corrupted. Also, many dragons did not have wings (Glaruung -which I'm sure I spelled wrong- did not). It was only in the final battle between Morgoth and the host of the Valar that winged dragons appear. There is some debate as to whether balrogs have wings.
