Rubbing sound after brake job

So I decided to try my first brake job with a friend. I replace all four rotors and pads. When we got to the passenger front the caliper piston was seized.
I order a new reman'd caliper online and put it on this morning. After putting it on I bled the brakes.

Before receiving the new caliper it was making a scraping sound from the front wheel and the brakes got really hot so I stopped driving it until I could get the new caliper on. With the new caliper on it is still having the same symptom as before. Still scraping and getting hot.

Does anyone have any idea of what else I need to check?

I had a similar issue. Turns out that two of the clips that hold the brake pads in were getting into the rotor. Simply had to locate them and bend them a little with needle nose pliers. Problem solved.
 
Thought it was the clips as well, but it wasn't. After a couple days the brakes completely locked up. Had someone look at it and said there was no air in the lines and decided to try putting a new cap on the brake reservoir. I thought that was kinda weird but hey I'll try a cheap fix. And baffling to me, it worked. The brakes released and there were no rubbing issues except for a slight rub from the Driver side when turning right. The rubbing stays there if I apply the brakes as well. Taking it in today, as it might be a wheel bearing. Hoping it isn't a wheel bearing and turns out to be another cheap fix.
