Most JKD instructors have taken to bringing in BJJers, I know that is what Burton Richardson has done. As for Erik Paulson, honestly, I have never been that impressed. When you look at the submissions that usually win in MMA events you get a very small list. As for Bruce Lee's section on grappling in the Tao of Jeet Kune Do, that was based on limited experience with Gene LeBell years ago. If you are going to supplement your BJJ I would recommend a basic wrestling class, perhaps something taught by a high school wrestling coach or look for a Sambo class.
