Track Star and Pass Rusher would be highest priority. After that, Jump the Snap, Football Genius, a tacking VA (Sure Tackler or Power Tackler, depending on your build), and Streaky would all be potential options.
As for Ball Hawk, it depends upon your DC. It's definitely helpful if your dot's in a lot of pass coverage, but in more of a dedicated blitzer role, it's probably not worth it.

Power Tackler doesn't work with sacks. Seen a comment by Bort on that.
Link or it is not true.

It helps force the fumble, but not the tackle.
I guess you mean the second part of the VA (which few people care about). The 3% FF bonus is certainly active on sacks.

Jump the Snap the most important VA for blitzers IMO...take that 10 then 15 before anything else.... its the Ball Hawk of blitzing LBs.
Pass Rusher is kinda "eh" for me since it only works on 1/3 or less of most series (3rd downs), but there isn't much better for a purely evasive style blitzer.
If he's a seriously high agility build (near equal to his speed) then technique man is worthwhile, probably better than pass rusher... TM goes hand and hand with heavyweight for some builds (you get a bonus to breaking the block with the 1st, and a bonus to revcaking them by doing so with the 2nd) .
If your build is more toward strength and tackling than agility, then (again this is just IMO), pocket crusher, power tackler and (probably the least so on a blitzer AT) bull rusher are all worthwhile... pocket crusher in particular is overlooked and I personally think its a great VA as there's no effective difference in the sim between "avoid" and "break" a block.
Many will tell you DvG is a must have... I'm not personally convinced but open to it.
Lastly, I'd like to plug "Fearsome" for some schemes (must have 5 blitzers for it to fire)... there's no glory for the LB (don't get sacks) but can help the team by forcing bad passes that will be incomp, deflected or picked off.
