Front Brake Drag

ive got about 1500miles on my 52 now.
it has a MustangII front end with drums on rear.
Booster is under the floor stock location Blue residual valve on th front, red on th rear..
Pedal and braking are great.

How much should these fronts drag?
to me they seem to drag alot.
with it jacked up
you can turn the wheel my hand with much effort. no free spin,
you stop turning,
it stops.
with wheel off you cannot turn rotor just by grabbing it and trying to turn.Very Hard to turn

I seem to be getting alot of brake dust on my Wide Whites.
Rotors are glazing over.
i have even smell brakes when on Hiway sometimes.

does all this sound normal, for this set up?
or maybe a bad residual valve?
do i really need a residual valve?

thanks
