I would say that Volson coming in as 4th Rounder from a terribly low college division, that he could not have had a more difficult task out of the gate.
He faced these guys and their season ending PFF Ranking:
Chris Jones #1 (twice)
Quinnen Williams #3
Cam Heyward #5 (twice)
Derrick Brown #7
Christian Wilkins #9
Punkass Simmons #10
Calais Campbell #15 (twice)
Cordell had excellent games vs:
Cowboys 87.6 PBLK
Ravens 71.5 (Game 1)
Falcons 75.3 RBLK
Browns 72.1 Overall (Game 1)
Chiefs 76.6 Overall (Game 1)
Patriots 74.8 PBLK
Bills 68.0 RBLK
Chiefs 79.7 RBLK (Game 2)
I would think that he will improve next season, other than AD he cant play any better players than he did this year, and he will have a year's worth of experience.
He is older so I don't expect to see a tremendous jump in size, strength or athletic ability, but this season had to provide priceless experience. He will not be learning a new system and practicing at multiple spots this preseason. He is set at LG, with a year playing next to Jonah and Karras, no need to get acquainted. Every indicator says he should improve.
I actually just made a case for Volson, see the post above, tell me where Im wrong.
Quality depth is needed without a doubt.
