Do not drive vehicle without bleeding brakes first. You can switch brake pads or change rotors without bleeding but never when changing a caliper.
Mighty Mac makes a vacuum tool with a small brake adapter for catching fluid from the brake system. Imitators use similar designs. Then there is gravity bleeding which you can look up on the Web. There is a one-way valve which can be connected on one caliper at a time or finally some put out 4 bottles filled with brake fluid and hoses from each brake bleeder. The bleeders are opened and the owner pumps the brakes himself until pressure is good on pedal. The owner then tightens each bleeder before removing brake hoses to auxillary bottles.
The last method is shaky because the hoses can pop off if not secure to brake bleeder and then system can vent air and you would need to redo.

TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, SINCE VEHICLE HAS ABS SYSTEM . THE BRAKES MAY NEED TO BE BLEED WITH DRB/SCANNER. OR YOU MAY HAVE LINES CLOGGED.

SOURCE: ford f250 diesel . front brakes come on when
has anything been done with master cylinder or booster or brake light switch?? if the adjustment is off, the master will not release the brakes even if the pedal is back, although its rare if nothing has been replaced recenlty, next time the brakes drag, loosen the master bolts (2) about 1/8" and see if they release, if so either the adj is off or the master cyl is bad.
