Why do you want to replace it? it's probably the best for hitting your traps...could always do barbell curls if you don't like the dumbells (grip reasons??)

Front or behind the back barbell shrugs, but as stated, you need to find some dumbells... in my mind the hit the traps better.

Upright rows are not a "replacement".... those are often done as supersets or an additional exercise with the shoulders/traps.

My gym has a shrug machine that allows you to load the plates on the sides. I much prefer it over dumbbell shrugs.
