I don't have 757 performance data to hand, but the Continental 757s fly BRS-EWR, so they shouldn't have a problem with ORK, especially now that they are fitted with winglets. Larger than that, possibly a 762 could do it (CO is one of the few still operating these), but not sure about the 763 - and it would probably be too big for ORK anyway.
It would seem to be the right size too. Don't forget that as well as pax from ORK, there would be, around the eastern seaboard, a pretty good sized population of what we might call a "Corkonian diaspora", who would no doubt appreciate very much the possibility of flying back to ORK nonstop.
Mind you, CO 757s are pretty well tasked at the moment with other routes, but carriers like DL, AA and US have been introducing 757s on t/a routes. I just can't see people being willing to fly via BFS.
