Here is your parts breakdown
Model MDE9206AYW

And a service manual

Can be a number of things, most likely culprit is the belt idler wheel from your description of the noise. The following is usually more of a scraping noise but may also be something caught between the drum and the case (wires from under wire bras are famous for this). Just feel around the back and front of the drum.

Try to isolate where the noise is coming from in the dryer. This will help locate the bad part. This may be nigh onto impossible.

Open it up and check for slop and wear the following
Belt idler wheel
Rear support rollers
Front glides
Motor bearings.
Any signs that the drum is rubbing on the front or back.

If it is a roller/wheel be sure to also check the shaft for wear as it may also need replacing.

Replace the parts as necessary.
Give the unit a good cleaning inside
Clean and check your vent system
