Throughout the week, EA Sports has released ratings for their upcoming video game, Madden 24, and we’ve been breaking down the good, the bad, and the ugly with each position group.

We looked at the wide receiver and safety positions on Tuesday: Wednesday, defensive linemen, and EDGE rushers. And on Thursday, we talked about Miami’s running back room and the offensive line.

Let’s look at the Miami Dolphins' cornerback and tight end ratings.

VERDICT: Jalen Ramsey, the highest-rated cornerback in Madden, is music to my ears. However, the Xavien Howard disrespect has gone too far. Yes, he was banged up in 2022 and played with two messed-up groins, but when healthy, he’s still one of the best cornerbacks in football. Kader Kohou is another cornerback that could’ve been rated a bit higher. Rookie Cam Smith being rated a 72 overall is good, but when you compare that to Noah Igbinoghene's rating and Keion Crossen’s, you have to wonder if he shouldn’t be rated a bit higher.

Miami’s secondary will be hard to complete passes against, especially in man coverage.

VERDICT: I don’t know that I have words for how bad the Miami Dolphins tight end room is in Madden 24. Durham Smythe, being rated below Tyler Kroft, seems slightly disrespectful. I also don’t like how Elijah Higgins is listed as a wide receiver, but with poor blocking attributes, it makes sense from a logistic standpoint.

In the end, Miami needs help at the tight end position. And for those looking to start a franchise, it will likely be the first position upgraded.
