It sounds to me that either the brake pad has shifted and isn't seated properly in the caliper OR the bolts that attach the caliper may have been installed incorrectly and are rubbing against the dick rotor. One more thing, the backing plate (thin piece of metal that blocks and protects the inside of the rotor may be bent and rubbing on rotor.
