I might pull the star wheels off, clean them up and apply some anti-seize so the self-adjusters can work (they may already but things look a bit crusty).
My limited understanding of self-adjusters is that you back up, stop and the brakes will adjust a bit each time. This assumes the self-adjusters are working.
Drums should not drag when not engaged. Disks should drag just slightly.
