I actually think Higbee is a good blocker. And Everett improved there quite a bit.
This from PFF:
Gerald Everett played almost half the snaps that teammate Tyler Higbee did, but he outperformed him over the course of the season. Everett had the edge as a receiver in both yardage totals and grades, but it’s his improvement as a blocker that could elevate Everett’s playing time next season. After mustering 54.7 run-blocking grade in his rookie year, Everett ended the 2018 campaign with a run-blocking grade of 74.9 which far outpaced Higbee – who is typically considered the team’s blocking specialist.Now if by some chance they do take a TE at #31 I wouldn't be surprised to see them turn around and trade Higbee for a day 3 pick. But he is not a guy I would be looking to cut or trade just because.
