Speaking to portadelaidefc.com.au, Parker noted a close collaboration with senior coach Ken Hinkley and list manager Jason Cripps had ensured the Power's stocks were replenished with required position players.
"Jason and I spent a lot of time with Kenny and the other coaches working out what we needed and we think we've got some pretty versatile and clever players in this draft," said Parker.
Port did not have a selection in the first round of the draft - a rarity for the club in recent years - but managed to secure an important small defender in Victorian Jarman Impey.

Hailing from the Shepparton region of Victoria, Impey is a talented utility who can play in many positions around the ground, however Parker expects him to play as a small defender under Hinkley's 2014 plans.
"When you arrive at the draft you do hope to get the player you want and fortunately Jarman was there," said Parker.
"We followed Jarman pretty intently in the last part of the season. Kenny wanted a small defender with some speed and aggression and Jarman ticked those boxes, although he is capable of playing in a number of roles."
Impey, along with other draftees Darcy Byrne-Jones (Pick 52) and Karl Amon (Pick 68), adds vital leg speed to the Power's list.
Byrne-Jones and Amon will come to Alberton as members of the latest Victoria Metro graduate pool, the former an ex-Oakleigh Charger while the latter played for Sandringham Dragons.
As a defender and midfielder respectively, the pair will provide flexibility to the Power's list according to Parker.
"Darcy and Karl both have real speed and endurance," he said.
"Darcy started the season down back but went forward as the year continued. We see Karl as a really good carrier of the ball and will help transition the footy from defence into attack."

Port Adelaide also selected a local with pick 45 in the form of former North Adelaide player Mitchell Harvey.
Playing in juniors for Broadview in the inner north-eastern suburbs of Adelaide, Harvey is a tall forward who was impressive for South Australia in the recent NAB Under-18 Championships.
"We wanted to bring another big leading forward in and Mitch dominated the Under-18 competition in the SANFL last year," explained Parker.
"He's a good marking forward who can deliver well inside 50 and kick a goal as well."
The quartet will join Port Adelaide's main list on its pre-season training camp in Dubai, with the team set to fly to the United Arab Emirates on Sunday.
The club is also set to add to its list during the upcoming pre-season and rookie drafts to be held on Wednesday 27 November.
