Power Through fires even at 80. Speed is what determines how well you get away.

If you have your heart set on that type of dot...

You have to buy one of the above anyway, so it only makes sense to get the strongest one... PT

Don’t forget your % gear, break tackle and catch ball!

TBH, I've never used or needed either one. 2 pieces of BT usually worked just fine and I went with other SA's to ensure the catch since most Power (or possession) style receivers don't have break away speed as the end result of their builds. SA's that help with ensuring catch or getting open to make the catch were more important. Now... if you're making a BLOCKING Power arch WR that can also catch passes when asked to, yes... PT would be a good get. Just make sure you have 2 HB pieces to cover your blocking build.

You should be fine. WR's most heavyweight opponent will normally be a LB at best. More likely a DB (safety or CB). And very rarely a DE playing in the flat and the WR blocking for a screen.
My most recent Blocking/Receiving WR has 60 strength, 43 blocking, Hold Block chance or 18% (one piece + CEQ bonuses as well), and 15% Catch Ball. He does just fine blocking but I wish I'd pushed blocking a bit harder and he had a horrible shopping time for AEQ so I only ended up with 3 pieces. I've built better bit he's the best receiving WR that blocks that I've built. Usually I get the blocking right but come up short in the receiving department.
Some VA's to consider are Downfield Blocker and Outside Blocker. When you add up everything, size, strength, blocking, and all bonuses, against DB's and most LB's you'll have no issue blocking long enough to allow the rusher past. And that's really all you need.
