Sounds like your rotors are wrapped. When is the last time you had your brakes serviced?

Inspect or have your brakes inspected. It's possible you have some kind of fluid on your pads, and that can cause brake grab. I doubt that you need them replaced, unless you've put a ton of miles on your car... Rotor warpage is quite possible, like was suggested.
