Your guess of a pad dragging could be correct - check the wear of the inside/outside pads. When I first bought our '99 2.3t the braking was fine, but I noticed the pads on passenger front were wearing very differently inside/outside - symptom of a sticking caliper in that case. My first repair on the car was rebuilt calipers and new pads.
A trapped rock behind the spash shield can be an alarming noise maker, but when I experienced that problem it was very 'tinny' sound, not a smooth "shhhhhh". Does the sound change when you round sweeping turns? Worn wheel bearings can make a subtle noise like this at first, but if that's the problem, the noise will get more pronounced and more obviously dependent on side loads over time.
