Jumping is fairly important for PDs, but I wuoldn't start adding points into that attribute until later.
Strength is how well you can fight off blocks and is put into the equation for causing fumbles. If you set your tackling tactics to "Wrap-Up" you should be able to take down any ball carrier without missing a tackle even with low tackling.

train jumping occasionally. strange thing about strength. think most LB put points into speed etc. first, and play on wrap-up. then put points into strength later

A lot of LBs (especially OLBs) focus on speed over strength to adapt to what offenses did early on. EVERYONE on offense (WRs, TEs, HBs, etc.) pumps up speed. If you don't have speed to keep up, hitting them hard won't matter as they'll just run around you.
Now that speed has leveled off for most offensive players (except pure speedsters) LBs pumping points into things like tackling and strength will start to get more production.
As for jumping, it helps with diving tackle, but I wouldn't put any points in it. Maybe train it to even it off to a nice number every time you level.

It helps you defend more passes, and can help give you a couple extra yards in diving tackle range, which is always nice. I don't put points into it, but I train it pretty regularly. I'm at about 21, personally.
