The Facts:
Wilson will be part of the competition to become Seattle's starting QB this fall, HC Pete Carroll said Sunday as the team concluded a three-day minicamp for rookies. "He showed us enough," Carroll said. "He's in the competition."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Wilson was the team's third-round pick, and he will join a competition that already included free-agent addition Matt Flynn and incumbent starter Tarvaris Jackson. Russell was chosen in the third round by Seattle with the No. 75 overall pick. It was the highest pick the franchise has used on a quarterback since 1993. Carroll did not provide a timeline for making a decision for a starting QB nor did he sketch out the framework for structuring the competition. Previously, he has said that Flynn and Jackson would split time with the first-unit offense with Jackson getting the first snap, something he'd earned as last year's starter. Did Seattle expect Wilson to be ready to compete for the starting job as soon as it drafted him in the third round? "I'd hoped that, and we confirmed it in these three days," Carroll said. ... We still consider Flynn the favorite but make no mistake about it: This will be an open competition.
