Post Mushy brakes....

Ok, I just changed out my front brakes memorial day weekend and now they feel mushy to me.

Yes I have drums. My auto-adjusters were working fine when I tested them. Is it maybe just because they are new? It almost feels like they have air in the line, but how is that possible if I didn't mess with the lines at all? I haven't tried bleeding them yet because I didn't have much brake fluid, but I have to change out a wheel cylinder before bleeding them anyway(broken bleeder valve). Any ideas at all??

They still work but the point of grip is much lower to the floor then I'm used to and they feel a little mushy up top. Is my adjusters maybe not working right??

Any help is always appreciated.
