By '62 John Reynolds had an excellent rep. You'll recall he was offered command of the Union Army before Gettysburg but turned it down. However, an order is an order, if he were ordered to take command I believe he would have done a much better job than any of the names you mentioned.
As far as Gen. Little Mac, in '61-'62 the South should have voted him MVP. He did organize his army well but some folks just can't fight. Mac being a great example.
Stay healthy,
