Carlton in 1972 is one of the top peak pitching years. WAR has it better than anything Koufax or Grove did.
I’d throw Ford into consideration on your list, but I agree. Ranking 6th or 7th all time is not disparaging. It’s better than most statistical rankings would put him too. Koufax is 89th in pitching WAR.
