How would you rank the new Star Trek shows (Discovery, Picard, and Lower Decks) from best to worst?

A plain listing doesn't tell the real story, though. For me, DSC and PIC are neck-and-neck. It's a razor-thin difference and a photo-finish.
Lower Decks? I've seen each episode once and once only. I like it but if it ended tomorrow, I wouldn't care. Whereas with Picard and especially Discovery, I would care. Discovery more so than Picard. Because the big thing I was hoping for with Picard was that it would make up for the TNG Movies. And after the first season, I thought it made up for the TNG Movies in spades.

But I’m not anti-DIS here. I think a lot of the issues from DIS are gone once you consider:

General Chang was bald in TUC, and cranial reconstruction as potential big business for the Klingons was clearly hinted at in ENT. And the Klingon cranium is more than just Klingon ridges.
Similar uniforms existed in “The Galileo Seven”, though they were associated with Federation bureaucracy, and had expansive powers under the Galactic Emergency Procedures.
Holograms on the bridge were resolved thanks to Pike ripping them out.
Discoprise clearly went through a refit after “The Cage” – meaning they will clearly go through another one once Kirk takes command.
Advanced Starfleet technology (better looking than TOS) is likely due to both collaboration with other Federation members, and any technological advancements made due to the Earth-Romulan War.
USS Discovery being the USS Discovery-A now, since during the TNG era there was a USS Discovery in existence in the 24th Century.

I thought Lower Decks was really fun, although I feel an extensive knowledge of the prior shows is pretty much required to get anything out of it, with so many "deep cut" references to stuff casual viewers didn't notice.
Picard had some interesting stuff to it, but overall I don't like how they threw away all the economic and cultural reality of Earth that 1990s Trek had established.
Discovery really ain't my jam. For well-trodden reasons I won't reiterate in this thread.
