Do I need new Rotors???

I installed my brake pads today. When I took off the caliper I find that my brake pads don't exist anymore and that the rotor is scraped up on the outer edge. I'm thinking that this will prematurely wear out my pads that I put on. Should I invest in cross-drilled and slotted rotors?? I don't have that much money and I can't really get bigger rotors cause I don't have bigger rims and don't plan on getting any soon. Any help would be nice....Thanks

if it is already eating up the rotor then you just need to resurface the rotor to smooth it out. don't know how much it is though. i bought my brembo cross drill/slotted rotor for 100.
