Most of the picks are decent. Here are some thoughts:

I guess the Binance coin will probably continue to do well, but I am just wary now that its price is already quite high and its performance is so coupled with the success of the Binance exchange, since BNB is used to pay trading fees (imagine what would happen if it gets hacked and goes bankrupt, like a number of other exchanges have in the past).

For payments/remittances: I think Stellar Lumens is very low and will probably spike soon to $0.40-0.50 due to the recent Ripple rally. Request Network, OmiseGO are also pretty strong - OmiseGO in particular since it's backed by a real company that already existed for several years. Request Network is lower cap and riskier, but potentially way more profitable.

For privacy: I think Zencash is quite undervalued, but you can stick with Monero for a safer choice.

Others: I think the next big thing are coins that enhance/facilitate crypto-trading and/or a multi-blockchain/tokenized economy + allow users to control their coins: for example 0x, ARK (and its upcoming ICO partner, Blockport.io), Blocknet, Komodo. Perhaps Enigma/Santiment as well since those are focused on facilitating crypto-trading. As crypto goes mainstream, it is going to be important to easily allow the average person to be able to trade cryptocurrencies without having to learn about all these exchanges and/or worry about being hacked.
