I don't think we should reach for a safety, but let's say we're at the top of the third round and a guy like Tyrell Johnson or DaJuan Morgan is there. I'd go for it. The talent pool is shallow this year, but I'd wager most teams won't consider safety a high enough priority to reach for one when they have the option of filling another need.
As far is this mock draft goes, I don't know that King will be available late in the third. I'm thinking if we want him, we'd probably have to take him at least early in the third round, which would require shuffling up the order of the positions picked. Even with the trade, we can't take a safety in round 2 and expect to land a solid receiver and corner in the 3rd.
