Swap upright rows for high pulls. Absolutely blast the traps, best trap exercise IMO, and much healthier for shoulders:

And dumbell lateral raises for side delts rock too.
I probably wouldn't be messing with upright rows at all if I could do pull-ups right now, but lately they've been bothering my elbows. Also, I'm limited by logistics (I only have a doorframe pull-up bar, but no suitable doorframe in current house).
On another thread someone recommended a stand-style pull-up bar which I might purchase when I can put aside some extra $$$, and someone else recommended doing them with palms facing to take it easier on my elbows. I like upright rows, but since a lot of people seem to think they'll eventually cause an injury it's probably best to avoid them if I can.
