140+ strength (could go as high as 160 depending on arch and if you want him to pass or run block mostly)
100+ agility (could vary from 100 to 120 ish imo depending on whether you run or pass block more. Is mostly to deal with tech man DE's)
90+ blocking (some go all the way to 100. Some even go over 100 but I don't really understand it myself as it doesn't seem to be critical as agility or strength in the blocking interaction)

The rest really varies....

70-90 speed (depending on your end game goals. I probs wouldn't go beyond 90 though as that is probably overkill at OT)
50-80 vision (another depending on end game goals. 50 doesn't completely kill you but will allow some sack problems, also will likely never get to the CB's coming off the edge. A lot of people end in the mid 70's as it is a major.)

Confidence? meh...40+ for OT killer, some people go to 60 or so. Not sure what good it does them.
stamina? 55+ depending on how deep you are and ST's.

ya hold block 21+%. pass block to 10. maybe protect to 10 but i dont really use it anymore.

for run blockers take run block, get low, and possibly pancake to 10.

You don't like Cut Block over Pancake?

i dont really care much about cut block since the nerf. i guess its worth a couple points.
